Welcome to the Sacred Heart School Lunch Program. Our meals strictly comply with the nutrition guidelines handed down from the federal government and the State of Iowa. You can be confident that your child is receiving a delicious and nutritious meal for $2.90 per day. Every grade has the choice of the main entrée or a sandwich alternative, grades 6-8 have a salad option. We love to have our parents and siblings join their students for lunch, Adults - $3.65, Siblings - $3.65. We ask no outside food, Panera, McDonald’s, Jimmy John and etc., be brought to school for students or lunch visitors.

The Middle School kids (6-8 th) are able to purchase a second entrée or side for $1.00 each. This will be taken off the students account. There is always “free” seconds that consist of fruit or vegetables. Please work out with your student the frequency of buying extra entrees and sides. Salads meals are available to the middle school as an alternative to the menu Monday - Thursday, a sandwich option is also offered as an alternative on a daily basis.

****For All Grades K – 8: A sandwich alternative is available everyday, the classrooms with have the selections posted. Free seconds of fruit or vegetables are available every day.

Free & Reduced Lunch

The FREE & REDUCED LUNCH program is a Federal and State funded program. All information on the application is kept confidential. Please consider applying. Every family has difficulty paying for lunches at some time or another. The money is available, so it is worth the time to apply. Please read the instructions and the application carefully. If you do not qualify at this time and your financial status changes any time during the school year you can reapply. Instructions and applications are also available in other languages if needed. Please contact Beckie Grenier for these items. Click here for FAQ about the Free & Reduced Lunch Program.

Volunteer in the Lunchroom

Volunteering for Lunch Crew has many benefits: you get to see your children, meet new friends, and have a FREE LUNCH!

In addition to all the fun we must abide by Iowa State rules. We are inspected by the State of Iowa Health twice a year and never know when they will show up so we must be prepared. To keep us in compliance and assure we will never receive a violation, please follow these guidelines when you are volunteering:

All servers need to wear a head covering: hat, scarf, or hairnet. No visors.

No eating or drinking in the serving area during lunch. You can eat in the back or out with the students. A free lunch is provided after service.

Portion size is determined by state health guidelines and lunch count. The head cook will show you the correct portion size to serve.

Wash your hands with soap and water before putting on gloves. Gloves and aprons are provided and there are a variety of sizes for gloves to assure dads can also help!

Line servers are needed for each lunch. 1 Milk server is needed each day (milk server does not need head covering and may bring a smaller child).
